50 cutest child star trauma


(image is owned by http://www.astro-sucks.com)

Why is it everytime i tuned to E! channel, i find myself watching the rerun of 'The 50 Cutest Child Star'? Literally, yeah I do mean it! What the fuck is wrong with astro? Whether i turned on the afternoon, evening, morning, late night, the same fucking show is on? What the fuck is wrong with the monopolistic ASTRO?
WE pay to watch up-to-date programs, not reruns!Those were in the MEGATV days! This is fucking 2008! I've sent a complaint letter a.k.a. HATE LETTER to the company.
I can't fucking understand it.
Another thing that's bothering me is that, the obnoxiously exorbitant amount we have to pay every month, non-inclusive of the dynasty package, news & cartoon package, the amount is RM93.95! And that includes paying for channels that we do not watch! Despite having to pay for the full amount for a package that we only watch only one channel, we have to bear to watch the ample loads of advertisement on pay tv! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? It means that we pay to watch those stupid and lame advertisements with our own hard-earned money!
I'm so pissed off write now that I can't think of anything to write other than having the to go to ASTRO and burn the whole goddamn place!

Gadget Freak!



I'm a fool when it comes to gadgets. My life would be incomplete if I can't settle for gadgets and things that are electronically mechanized. I can be lurking around in Lowyat for hours, if only it operates like Mustapha Centre, that would be heaven on earth.
But, the thing is, you got to have some bucks to spend, at least RM5k, then only that would be optimising your spending spree in Lowyat. With 5k, i could at least get an 8 gb Ipod touch, 40gb PS3, and a high spec desktop PC. Then only I will come out of that place smiling from ear to ear.
Gadgets i own now still doesn't live up to my basic necessity. I never can get enough of what I own now. Why is that? Is it because the more you own the more you crave? I was first introduced to handheld gaming console when I first laid my eyes on the 80's classic, 'unaptly' named GAME & WATCH! I do hope some of my peers remember this Game & Watch (GW). But i called it Game Watch without the amphersand. Yeah, that was my first love, vice or whatever you want to call it. The first GW i had(after several rebellious moments with my parents, pity them) was a Casio 's Western Bar.
Namesake, the idea of the game is to shoot up as many beer bottles, plates, slided by the bartender in a bar. Once you reached top score, an outlaw enters the bar and the rest, as u know, would be to defeat the boss. I could play that generic game console for hours back when I was in standard one.
For the record, I had dozens or so GW, from casio to Nintendo and I used to swap GW with friends. I bet kids nowadays never know what a GW is.
From then on, I got myself a real console, an Atari 2600, although, this is not what I wanted because in 1989, this is considered an obsolete item! I wanted a Nintendo Entertainment System 8-bit or NES and my father talked me into buying an Atari!which was much cheaper. But, what the hell, I'd just settle for anything as long as it is playable via the TV. To think of it now, I rather am happy that i got the Atari because only it can considered as a gem or a classic. Bundled with the Atari is a 40 in one cartridge which consists of Activision's title such as Space Shuttle, Laser Blast, Tennis, Checkers, etc. I had semi-fun time playing it and after 2 months or so, I managed to get what I wanted, which was the NES!I made a pact with my dad to fork in some of my money and he agreed. Voila! Alas, the dream came through in 1990, during the end of the year school holiday.
Ok, that's it for now, cos all this talking bout video games made me wanna turn on my PSP. We'll continue later, for the golden era of gaming!

Sucking up - the sequel


Ok back to the story of sucking up, phew, luckily i logged off just in time. Thunders ablaze, I can't afford to buy a new modem, wireless router, or a new laptop! Back to the topic of sucking up. I was a kid who was largely known as a person who got no feeling. Anybody I knew, at one point or another, would dare to point out the fact that I have no feelings (takde perasaan). I don't bother to complement or show some affection to a baby, for instance(I'm not good with kids to tell the truth).
What I'm trying to say is that, for a person that puts aside feelings(except for my darling girlfriend), sucking up is not on my list! I just do not know how people learn to suck up in the first place. That's why i said in the earlier post that you do need a degree in sucking up. Because there's a fine line between sucking up and giving compliments.
It bothers me when people get their way just by sucking up. The world is ruled by suckers anyway. In politics, sucking up is a must. When there's a VIP coming to an event, people show their respect to the extent they are merely just sucking up. For an instance, its customary to kiss the hand when shaking hands in order to show respect. But, I just don't get it when just about every Tom, Dick & Harry would lineup and kiss the hand. Is this for real? Why don't you just kiss the ar*e. For all i care, people are just sucking up and it bothers me a lot.

What do i write?



Finally, i have my own blog to start with. The first task would be to write, duhh. So what should i write? Frankly, my dear, I don't know, duhh. Maybe I'd jumpstart with myself. A little bit of info, I'm 30 years old, currently semi-jobless. I still can't find what to do with my life, although I have the basic necessity of human ability like read, write, sleep, sh*t, etc. What does one want in life? What makes anybody different from the others, is it their career?the suit they wear? or is it how they suck up to their bosses and clients? How to be successful in business? Is it mandatory for one to be having a degree majoring in sucking up to be able to be successful in business?
I always thought that sucking up is a process of getting favor or the way to get upstairs more quickly eventhough one does not possess ay significant quality.
Do I have to suck up? why must i suck up? There's a fine line between sucking up n praising. To tell you the truth, people suck up all the time and the people taht are sucked up to must return the sucking up favor. Why? Because that's how people work. You receive sucking up and u return the favor. Why I must return something that in the first place i do not wish to receive?Because, it's human mentality after all.
Sucking up leads to corruption as well. It's a quid pro quo process. One must be in quite well adapt to this corruption process in order to be able to learn the ropes of sucking up.
The suck-ups are mostly businessman, politician and also normal people. Oh...i must go now...it's raining thunder! TBC...
